BuzzFeed - We found the most tenacious female Olympians and the most inspiring stories so you know what ladies to keep an eye on at Sochi. Australian Snowboarder Belle Brockhoff Why you should watch: At only 21-years-old, this will be Brockhoff's first trip to the Olympics. She took up snowboarding at the age of 10 â three weeks later, she won her first inter-school nationals title. The Aussie came out of the closet earlier this year in direct protest to Putin's anti-LGBT laws. So, if her snowboarding doesn't catch your attention, you won't want to miss her "rip on Putin's ass" in her Sochi interviews. She will be competing in women's snowboard cross.
